Still Owe Me Half My Heart (new song by me)

Still owe me half my heart
_____________________________

Such metaphorical loveliness
Must just be miraculous love
Forsaken down from the above
No danger sign so she’s enough
She’s an angel, my ‘lil angel on earth
I guess heaven just did not want her

If you asked me, what dreams have you been in
I would tell you, oh baby, where should I begin

Baby tell me about how you love me
But how you are socially so above me
And if I am lucky you might even hug me
Seconds before freaking out how I’m so ugly

I honestly don’t have any idea of what to say
When I see you practicing for this masquerade
I know you’re acquainted with that famous part
You know, where you start to play with my heart

As I choked on the memory
That was never even real
Woken from the lucid dream
Holding onto this feeling

She’s a fallen angel at best, a succubus at the worst
And I have to confess, that it just ain’t gonna work

I won’t be bleeding on your doorstep anymore
So don’t expect any more bloody roses
Sick of waiting just a bit longer on your porch
I’m not going to stain any more clothes

Now I can’t even look at you
Love is blind, love is blind
An the bloody things they said were all true
You steal hearts but you’ll never get mine

Won’t let this emotion take over
I don’t really even know her
And just what do I owe her
That I offer her my heart

I’ll need stitches for my shattered heart
And the doctors will need to fix my wrists
At the same time as they sew the two slits
The surgeons will sew back both parts

Doll, you tore my wrists in half
An I really can’t afford this cast

I guess you never really knew me after all
You can’t even recognize me after my fall

I trust you know I’ve been leaking from these thin holes
And to buy just the blood I owe you, I’m selling my soul

Hope it’s on your conscious that you sponsored these pills
Congratulations your honor you’ve really earned this kill

Nothing says, “I miss you”
Like a little slit on the wrists
Only need one or maybe two
My three wishes all came true

I need stitches for my shattered heart
And the doctors need to fix my wrists
At the same time as sewing these slits
The surgeons can sew back both parts

You stole my blood
Buried me in the mud
But you did not think I’d survive
Well I’m back baby and very alive

Right or wrong, I will steal at least half your heart away
Love so strong, I need to know the last words you say

Well, you all know what they say
Payback’s a bitch and life’s one too
But it’s gonna be a sweet day in hell
When I take my revenge against you

Just take a breather, baby, don’t sweat
Because that air is all you’re gonna get

Silence is golden so let’s cut off your lips
Hold ‘em steady now, so I won’t miss
You’re ready but first give me a lil’ kiss
Now wipe that smile off our to-do list

As I wipe away all these bloody tears
That you, my sweet love, still owe me
And I’m finally reimbursed after all of these years
As you breathlessly whisper, “please just hold me”

I needed stitches for my shattered heart
And the doctors needed to fix my wrists
At the same time as sewing these slits
The surgeons sewed back both parts

That’s odd, I can’t hear you in my head anymore
Are you dead, life anyways made you so bored
So is this sensation what it feels like to be right
I told you it wouldn’t be such a gruesome sight

Well now what is there left to do
I never wanted to live but for you
An now that there’s absolutely nothing left
I guess I won’t need these guts or this flesh

I had that dream about you again last night
That reoccurring dream of us making up
Like always, you’re holding my hands so tight
But this time, I’m not waking up

She was an angel at best
The worst was the rest

I needed stitches for my shattered heart
And all the doctors had to fix my wrists
So the surgeons sewed together these slits
But it seems like they’ve torn backs apart
